PERCY'S POV

Percy giggled as Nico angrily attempted to flatten his hair. The wind was blowing through it, and his feeble attempts to tame his hair were destroyed every few seconds when a new gust picked up. The couple was on their way down to a small park to spend some time together. It had been a week since the incident with Destiny, and, although things were tense, Percy was determined to keep the relationship together. They were supposed to go home from their vacation in four days, and Percy was not looking forward to it.

"It isn't funny!" Nico snapped as Percy broke into more laughter. His boyfriend was like a kitten. What a shame he was allergic to kittens. ((Just go with it))

Percy nuzzled his face into Nico's hair. Nico huffed and pulled away.

"You laugh at me, you don't get to do that," Nico grumbled. Percy stopped and looked at Nico with puppy dog eyes. Nico sighed, stopped, and gave Percy a look.

"That doesn't work anymoooore," Nico said in a sing-song voice. Percy whimpered but obediently followed his boyfriend as he trudged along the sidewalk.

"You don't need to keep trying to fix your hair," Percy said as Nico gave another weak attempt to flatten the untameable fluffiness. "In fact, your hair looks sexy like that in my opinion." Nico blushed noticeably but shoved his hands in his pockets. Percy smirked triumphantly and the couple walked in silence.

"We're only here for a few more days. Wanna go somewhere tomorrow?" Nico asked quietly. Percy glanced down in surprise.

"Sure. Where?" Percy asked. Nico smiled softly.

"That's for me to know and for you to find out," Nico teased.

"Nico, I said something very similar to that awhile ago and we almost got killed by Destiny. Is it safe?" Percy asked nervously. This time, Nico laughed.

"Yes, it's safe. I promise," Nico said. Percy smiled.

"Good. I don't want you to get hurt. If you were to get hurt, the person/thing that hurt you would be dead," Percy said with a small growl. Nico smiled up at Percy and Percy returned the smile.

"You're too good for me," Nico mumbled quietly. "I'll never be half the boyfriend you are."

"No, Nico. It's the other way around. You're too good for me. In fact, you're better than I ever thought you would and I'm sorry it took me so long to realize that. You may be an angel of darkness, but you've made my life brighter than any light or star or whatever could," Percy said. Nico sniffled and wiped a tear from his eyes.

"If only that were true," Nico sighed.

"I love you," Percy said with a smile.
